Colorful Carnival Makeup

As Easter is approaching this weekend, and Carnival next weekend, I wanted to do a tutorial that incorporates super bright and really fun colors onto my makeup. This Colorful Carnival Makeup look is inspired by the ladies in Jamaica, who are unafraid to wear bright eyeshadows!

I used Sleek Makeup Ultra Matte Brights V1 for the eyeshadows since I really wanted to use matte eyeshadows for this look. If you do decide to use this palette for your makeup, I suggest that you use a white base (i.e. NYX Jumbo pencil in Milk) so the colors pop even more.

Again, don’t forget to check my Instagram for daily updates since I’ll be away from my laptop this weekend! Remember to TAG your work with #KIREIMAKEUP so I can see and get inspired by YOU! 😉

How-to:

1. I prepped my eyelid using NYX Jumbo Pencil Shadow in Milk on both upper and lower lid.

2. I applied Pucker in the middle of my eyelid using a flat eyeshadow brush.

3. Using the same brush, I applied Pout on the outer part of my eyelid.

4. Using a clean shader brush, I blended out the edge of Pucker and Pout to remove any harsh edge.

5. I applied Bammi on the inner corner of the eyelid using a flat eyeshadow brush.

6. (Optional) I applied Sugarlite on my crease using a small shader brush. Optional step since the purple isn’t dark enough.

7. (Not in picture) I applied Floss on the crease using a blending brush as a transition color.

8. I lined my upper lash line with Kanebo Kate Super Sharp Eyeliner. On my waterline, I applied L’oreal Voluminous Smoldering eyeliner.

9. On the lower lid I used an angled eyebrow brush and  applied Chill on the inner corner, Bolt in the middle, and Dragonfly on the outer part.

10. I curled my lashes and applied Cover Girls Lash blast mascara on both upper and lower lashes.

11. I also applied Gwiyomi “Yuki” False Eyelashes (Indonesian store, check my Instagram if you want to buy).

12. I filled my brows using Anastasia Brow Wiz in Ash Blonde and Brunette.rainbow makeup

13. On my face, I applied Cover FX cream foundation in G40 using MAC Masterclass Brush Oval 6.

14. Very lightly, I applied Cover FX cream foundation in G20 under my eyes. I set my base using CoverFX translucent powder.

15. On my cheeks, I applied MAC Dainty blush.

16. I lined my lips using L’oreal Color Riche Lip Liner in Beyond Pink, and applied MAC Please Me Lipstick using a lip brush.

Pastel Rainbow

Hi all! I apologize for missing 2 days of tutorials. To be honest, I had 1 tutorial but I wasn’t too happy with how it turned out. So, I rather postponed the post than posting a not-so-great tutorial.

Anyhow, I decided to use my Coastal Scents 88 Prism palette  (only $19.95!) for the look, so it’s easier for whoever wants to re-create this look. If you do decide to re-create the look, please link me up!

The reason why I wanted to use the Coastal Scents 88 Prism palette is to create a pastel finish to the look. I quite like how this turned out. I was quite skeptical cause I like a shimmery finish, but as I said I love how this turns out! I’ve labelled the colors that I used in the picture below, so please refer to the colors on the tutorial.

The steps are quite long, so please be patient reading it…the key to this tutorial is to have clean flat eyeshadow brushes (or you can clean in between steps). Make sure it’s clean so the colors don’t get muddy and mixed up.
